Abstract:

A knife that consist of a handle with a lockable and rotatable cutter
head. The handle has a locking mechanism that secures the cutter head in
numerous cutting positions and also in a safety position.
The cutter head contains the blade. After the edges gets dull the blade
can be rotated within the cutter head to allow for the use of new cutting
edges.
The blade can easily be replaced by loosening the cutter head pivot bolt.
The cutter head and pivot bolt remain attached to the knife during this
process.

Claims:

1. A knife with a cutter head that rotates 360 degrees and has various
angle settings allowing a multitude of different locking adjustment
positions.

2. A knife featured with bi directional cutting options.

3. A knife with optional double lock or single sided lock engagement.

4. A knife with a quick engaged and disengage locking position feature.

[0010] This application relates to various cutters including the common
utility knives and knives with blade to knife angle or blade angle to
handle adjustments.

[0011] 2. Prior Art

[0012] Conventional knives such as the common utility knives are well
known in the art. These knives have many industrial as well as home uses.
A typical knife allows the blade to be adjusted in a forward or retracted
position.

[0013] The typical knife has the blade in a single fixed angle cutting
position. There are adjustable knife handles that allow for different
blade to handle angles. None of these are designed to use the triangular
blade along with other blade designs.

[0014] There is a need for an improved knife that provides additional
features and options for the consumers.

[0015] The rotating head Multi Angle cutting knife has a dual locking head
engagement feature. This provides a maximum lock when engaged.

SUMMARY

[0016] Accordingly, the object of the new invention is having a knife that
is able to adjust to numerous cutting angles and positions for practical
and ergonomic purposes. The knife will have use of two cutting blade
areas at a time when in the cutting mode. It's 360 degree rotating head
also allows the blade to be placed in a safe position when not in use.

[0017] Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will become
more readily apparent in view of the following detail description and
accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0018] FIG. 1 Shows exploded view of all the parts that make up the
cutter.

[0076] The knife is designed to use a triangular shaped blade. It has a
reversible grip feature which allows the user to cut with one side of the
triangular blade and when dull just turn the knife handle over 180
degrees for a new cutting surface. When the two cutting surfaces are dull
the blade can be removed and rotated allowing for two more new cutting
surfaces. This can be repeated one more time giving two more new cutting
surfaces. The blades can easily be removed and replaced without the use
of tools.

[0077] The cutter head can be rotated 360 degrees and placed in numerous
cutting positions and also be rotated to the save position when not in
use. This allows the blade to be hidden safely within the knife handle.

[0078] The cutting head can be retrofitted to use the common utility
blades or other blade designs.
